Greetings all!
I am looking into purchasing a rifle for my daughter on the occasion of her 5th birthday. She is definitely daddy's girl and can't wait to go shoot targets with me!
I have taken her to our local gun shop and let her handle a Cricket 22 and she liked it. It was a very good size for her - not too big and definitely not too small. I think she could use it for two or three years at least.
So, my question for you folks:
Being such a simple rifle, do you think she will grow out of it based on skill? Are there any kid rifles around that work on a traditional bolt action or lever action? I am trying to stay away from a semi-auto in favor of the more simple action mechanisms. Any ideas on alternatives to the Crickett?
Thanks again for all your help!
